Rating

Wine Advocate 90 points (Dec 2013)The 2012 Blanc du Castel, the winery’s well-known Chardonnay, is an oak-aged wine, just one-third new. It is a beautifully structured and nicely concentrated Castel Blanc. Bright, fresh and gorgeously balanced, it has a fine, lingering finish that delivers flavor to the palate. Yes, noting some tendencies of the last few years, it unhappily has some flinty nuances, too, and that will affect how much you like this and needs watching. Some two hours open moderated those nuances, but did not completely eliminate them. It will be interesting to see its development. This is hard to argue with, though, in all other respects and I still have to lean up a bit on it. Drink now-2021
